Crazed Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer prohibited big box retailers from in-person sale of seeds because according to her, food is non-essential.
‘Crisis gardens’ or ‘victory gardens’ were always encouraged during a time of war or a time of crisis to supplement rations and boost morale.
But the tyrannical governor of Michigan barred grocery stores and brick-and-mortar retailers from selling vegetable seeds.
In late March Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer limited access of doctors from prescribing the lifesaving drugs hydroxychloroquine and Z-Paks to save senior citizens in the state from Coronavirus.
Hydroxychloroquine and Z-Paks have are widely used by doctors the world over to treat the Coronavirus.
In total this past week alone, Governor Whitmer has banned packaged seeds, tiling, carpet, flooring… And US flags.

I live in southwest Michigan and in the last two days I have bought groceries, paint, two boxes of 30-06, a box of .22, concrete mix, lumber, and anything else I wanted. No problems. Nobody here has stopped selling American flags. You can still buy seeds and garden materials, you just buy it on the website and do curbside pickup. I was able to do this at both Menard’s and Home Depot. They literally have signs up at the door telling you how to do it. Everyone is complaining about no motor boating and garden centers being closed while we are expecting an inch of snow this afternoon. People need to quit complaining and go to the stores to see if it’s true before you lose your mind.

Michigan ban on non essential goods
In Michigan, the ban specifically stated that stores more than 50,000 square feet must close areas dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant nurseries, and paint. … Restrictions on sales of nonessential goods in stores does not affect online purchases. this ban would include a flag..the whole thing is outrageous!!!!!!!

Fixing our homes and buying plants for vegetable gardens and also no seeds. No Flowers. These are all things that give people a purpose and also food on the table.

Does paint carpet flooring cure boredom yes however it does not save life, its not and essential need to support life. I use to work at both of these big box stores and i could come into contact with 100+ people on a slow day now a little basic math here….
5-7 departments (paint, milwork,inside garden,outside garden, flooring,ec) 1-3 associates to be there to help customers
lets go simple 1 person *100 people * 5 departments= 500 people *8 hours =
4000 people per day
4000 people * 7 days= 28, 000 a week
28k*3 weeks -84,000 all because people were bored….
3 associates per department lets say 5 departments = 15 * 100 people =1500 per hour
1500*8 hours 12,000
12000*7 days 84000
84000* 3weeks = 252000
=more sick and more deaths
we are already one of the highest in the country if we continued on the same path without the restrictions do you see how bad it would or could be????
This is just one of the studies
https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-covid-19-treatments.html
In one heavily referenced study, conducted in France, a small number of patients with COVID-19 received either hydroxychloroquine alone or hydroxychloroquine in combination with an antibiotic called azithromycin. The authors reported that detectable concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 fell significantly faster in the study participants than coronavirus patients at other French hospitals who did not receive either drug. In six patients also given azithromycin, this promising effect appeared to be amplified.
However, the CDC noted that the small, non-randomized study “did not assess clinical benefit[s]” associated with the treatment; in other words, the study did not probe whether the treated patients were more likely to recover and survive their illness. Additionally, the agency advised that doctors should be cautious when giving either drug to patients with chronic disease, such as kidney failure, and especially those “who are receiving medications that might interact to cause arrhythmias.”

That’s what you are doing if you with hold treatment that may potentially prolong a life of a senior citizen. As for those other things you banned, speaking as someone who knows and understands which clearly you don’t. What do people do but sit and worry about the over emphasized bad news , how they will feed their families, or if they will lose someone to the virus or their home . What if they were out there with their masks, practicing social distancing, and washing their hands raw just to have something anything to do at home to escape depression or from blowing up at their family, just trying to survive.

The governor is not “crazed”.

Furthermore, the fewer items that are available for purchase, the fewer employees need to be exposed to potential infection by asymptomatic casual shoppers who ard too self-focused to get the point of it all. You shouldn’t even be shoppping unless you absolutely NEED something ESSENTIAL, and trust me, a flag is the least of your needs right now.

Nobody banned your seeds or gardening tools or flags.
Just go to a smaller store!
From EO 2020-42
For stores of more than 50,000 square feet:
(1) Limit the number of customers in the store at one time (excluding employees) to 4 people per 1,000 square feet of customer floor space. The amount of customer floor space must be calculated to exclude store areas that are closed under subprovision (2) of this subsection.
(2) Close areas of the store—by cordoning them off, placing signs in aisles, posting prominent signs, removing goods from shelves, or other appropriate means—that are dedicated to the following classes of goods:
(A) Carpet or flooring.
(B) Furniture.
(C) Garden centers and plant nurseries.
(D) Paint.
